What kind of stuff? for your car?

IPD is pricey but have good parts.

Nothing is cheap for Volvo, so don't think your going to buy a lot for $1k like you can for a Honda. Think I can buy maybe one thing or maybe a couple.

For the starting problem is the check engine light on?

Another good place for replacement parts and some upgrades is FCP Groton. I use them as well as IPD and others

i had that happen with my 93 850, it turned out to be the MAF sensor had gone bad. if your check engine light is on that will let you know where the problem is.

Check the plug for the cam sensor.
